UHF and microwave frequencies, maybe, though unlikely.  Microwave would 
be the only part of the frequency spectrum that could offer any 
significant bandwidth.  HF would be all but useless for modern, portable 
communication.  Commercial shortwave broadcasters within the USA are 
essentially nonexistent today.

Though the amateur community often still gets praise for help in 
disasters, I believe we tend to think of ourselves as far more valuable 
than we actually are.
